Travel

Each student and associated post-doc of the RTG has an annual travel budget of about 2,000 Euros. This money is reserved for conferences, schools and short (< 2 weeks) research visits.
If you like to use this travel money, please send an informal email to Tilman Plehn and Stephanie Hansmann-Menzemer describing briefly the motivation for your trip and/or the program of the school or the conference and give an estimate of the travel costs (train, flight, hotel, fees, …). Don't forget to include the per-diem in your calculation.

Students who would like to attend a school are to apply for a 50%-co-funding at the HGSFP. Female students can and should ask as well for a 50%-co-funding from the HGSFP for conferences. The application forms for funding can be found here.
